THE TEN-CENT CATALOG
NEW TRIANGLE HEADQUARTERS
Several Smaller Publishers Planning to Revive
Ten-Cent Editions—Success of Project Very
Doubtful, Due to Production Costs
Offices Secured in Broadway Central Building
for Triangle Music Pub. Co. .
In this department last week there appeared
an article regarding the agitation for the return
of 10-cent music. In it were outlined the con-
ditions which would make it almost impossible
for the larger publishers to accede to any such
proposal, inasmuch as the larger publishers can-
not profitably issue such goods.
Inquiry in the trade following last week's ar-
ticle shows the propaganda for the return of
10-cent music to be even more active than we
anticipated. In fact, there are several of the
smaller publishers who have already agreed to
comply with the arrangements proposed by one
of the larger 10-cent syndicates. Of course, the
closing of any such plan will not be made unless
the syndicate in question can get the support
of at least four or five of the larger houses. This
latter is a question and need hardly be looked
forward to, but there is no doubt that it is being
given consideration.
Some of the smaller publishers with minimum
overhead expenses, few or no branch offices, can,
if they receive substantial orders and co-opera-
tion, profitably publish 10-cent music, and some
of them seemingly are willing to do so under
the impression that by this means they can be-
come national figures in the industry. They are
also laboring under the impression that such a
move would do much to revive sales. There
would be some sales resulting from such an ar-
rangement, but hardly sufficient to justify the
move. Developments can be looked forward to.
NEW FEISTJtELEASES
Among the new releases appearing in the
catalog of Leo Feist, Inc., are "Thanks to You,"
a waltz ballad by Howard Johnson, Sam Lan-
ders and Violinsky, and "All That I Need Is
You," a fox-trot ballad by Lester Santley and
Abel Baer.

If there are any members of the sheet music
trade who have succumbed to the gloomy fore-
bodings of future business conditions in this
country let them arrange a visit to the Toronto
headquarters of Leo Feist, Ltd. Here one ob-
serves abounding energy on all sides, indicating
that there is no depression with this firm. The
genial manager, Gordon V. Thompson, is most
concerned with making the public buy more sheet
music and with giving dealers quick service. And
so it is that the Leo Feist Toronto staff are given
to smiling as they ply their work in the inter-
ests of their dealers.
